Fiona led nineteen ramblers on a 7.3 mile walk starting from
Nether Broughton church up Slyborough Hill to Long Clawson for a coffee stop next to the village water pump. Later we
passed Mill Farm with its resident windmill.
Walkers interacted with alpacas, shire horses and young
bullocks, with Phil demonstrating his ‘cow whispering’!
We passed through Howell Mouth and took lunch in open fields
before returning via Bleak Hills to Nether Broughton. It was a hot sunny day and
many walkers enjoyed an ice cream from the van at the finish.
